Socialism on the Bench 2013

Socialism on the Bench. Cultural and Historical Interpretations of Yugoslav and Post-Yugoslav Societies
International Conference
Pula, December 5-7, 2013

 

The intention of CKPIS as the organizer of the conference is to bring together researchers who will discuss the topics that have been unavoidable for the articulation of contemporary history of the area that until the beginning of 1990s formed Yugoslav federation. Politics of modernization and the development of a modern industrial society, with its various aspects, cannot be separated from the almost half-centennial history of self-management socialism. With this broadly defined theme, based on cultural and historical research within the frame of the humanities, we would like to open a dialogue about different aspects of culture, history and politics of the Yugoslav federation and offer dynamic and comparative interpretations of the events, processes and phenomena that formed contemporary identities, both those of the Yugoslav republics under communist rule, and of the independent states in the post-socialist era.
During the conference, socialism will again as a subject be put "on the bench" and in the focus of attention. Depending of the researcher's interpretation of Yugoslav and post-Yugoslav societies, socialism can be put on various "benches". It could simply be an academic topic, on a school bench, student's desk or a lab bench; it could end in front of a court bench, or be sitting on the bench as a substitute player.
The goal of the conference is to strengthen the communication and collaboration between scholars interested in similar socialist and post-socialist topics, whether they work in Croatia, neighbour states, or further abroad, and whether they are originally from the South-Slavic area or just scholars following their academic interests. This approach is especially important considering the complexity of recent common history and events that are still awaiting their academic interpretation.
